During the concert, the artists alternate between two locations—upstairs at the organ and downstairs in front of the audience. The music thus resonates from various parts of the church, allowing its extraordinary acoustics to shine to the fullest. The unique floor plan of this sacred building, with a dome centered in the space, creates an impressive auditory experience in which the music envelops the audience from all sides.
